From the learning rooms...school is officially over - except for Math on Mondays.

In the kitchen... scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and Southwestern Bean Soup for supper. Also, putting cucumbers in salt brine. I love making pickles!! :)

I am wearing...a jean skirt and a turquoise top.

I am creating...crocheting a white shawl for myself. I've been working on it since early spring, and I'm almost finished! Next on my list is a baby blanket for my baby granddaughter due to arrive in August. :)

I am pondering...Philippians 4:8. I struggle with keeping my mind on the good things.

One of my favorite things...hearing the laughter of my children.

A photo to share... this photo was shared on a missionary friend's Facebook page. We could not get over the size of this monster crocodile! I have no idea where it was taken, but he said that villagers were frequently disappearing. The Army was finally called in to kill it.

She enterswith zest and enthusiasm intoall his plans. She is never aweight to drag him down, she ishis strength in his heart tohelp him ever to do noblerand better things." - J.R. Miller
